It's just that when he just answered the order, he found that the enemy's army was not moving towards the center of the battlefield, but directly towards the 15,000 troops of the three Maori families, and in terms of numbers, there were at least 20,000, and even if he wanted to mobilize this army, he couldn't mobilize it.

"My lord...

"Shut up, you, and you, and you, immediately lead your army to meet the enemy, and destroy this army for me no matter what." Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a little crazy now, this battle is related to the world, and he has been pressing the Takayama army since the beginning of the joint war, and he must not be allowed to turn the tables, never!

"It's my lord! Subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord! "All the samurai who were pointed out by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, explained and answered, at this time they had no choice, if the Toyotomi family was defeated, in such a situation, there would be no chance to fight back, so what should they do, even if the Takayama family accepts their allegiance, their status will plummet, they have already tasted the sweetness of power, if they are beaten back to their original form, then they might as well fight with each other.

Besides, at present, it seems that the family has no signs of defeat, and as long as this army can be defeated, then the final victory still belongs to the Toyotomi family.

The 10,000 troops in this formation were not all mobilized, after all, the safety of this formation was related to the entire situation, so the number of people dispatched this time was only 8,000, and the number was slightly less than the Shibata army, but this was Kinoshita Hideyoshi's personal guard army, so the combat power of this 10,000 people was even comparable to the Takayama army, so after the appearance of this army, the Shibata army could no longer take half a step forward.

At this moment, the Shibata army broke the formation one after another, and the morale was high, and after the Toyotomi army was defeated on the north road, the morale was a little low, and it would be evenly matched, otherwise, the Shibata army would definitely be at a disadvantage. Soon after the two armies clashed, the battle was in a stalemate.

"Uncle, the enemy ... The enemy is coming from the north, so let's take it! Mori Terumoto had already received the battle report, and the two armies of Uesugi and Asai were coming in his direction, so he said with some panic.

Although the three of them dispatched 25,000 troops this time, but there are 10,000 parallel goods among them, if they really wait for the enemy to kill and then fight, maybe those parallel goods will collapse when the enemy rushes in, if so, the remaining 15,000 troops will definitely not be able to stop the enemy's attack when they are in a panic, so the only thing they can do now is to take advantage of the enemy's not yet killed, and quickly send 15,000 banners to respond to the battle, which can drag on for a moment.

That's right, at this time, Maori Terumen has no confidence to defeat these two armies, although there are 15,000 people in the banner, but these fifteen thousand people have just been formed for half a year, the Asai family does not mention, the Uesugi family is the elite of a hundred battles, even the Shibata army can defeat the elite, plus there are 10,000 troops of the Asai family to help, his three families are not his opponents at all, so he can only look forward to delaying a little longer, waiting for the 60,000 army in front of him to defeat the enemy, and then return to his aid.

Although Yoshikawa Motoharu was extremely warlike and was a famous warrior in the Western Kingdom, he was also a little flustered at this time, but what could he do, when Mori Terugen finished speaking, he could only lead the army to fight.

But soon Maori Terumoto's abacus failed, and at this time, both the Uesugi army and the Asai army were holding back the fire in their hearts, so when the 15,000 troops of the three Maori families just appeared, they immediately launched a fierce attack on it.

Although Yoshikawa Motoharu is brave, but because the enemy is not only numerous, but also morale, although he killed several samurai in a row, but still unable to recover the situation, so the three Maori forces and Uesugi Asai two armies were defeated, and Yoshikawa Motoharu because he rushed too forward, when his own army was defeated, he was unable to break through the enemy blockade at all, so in the end he failed to see the scene of the Takayama family gaining the world, and died on the spot with the 900 surrounded troops under his command.

Not only him, after the defeat of the fifteen thousand troops, the two armies did not stop, but directly launched an attack on the three Maori large arrays, and the remaining 10,000 troops were all peasants who were indiscriminately filled, and before the two armies were killed, they began to rout, and Maori Terumoto and Kobayakawa Takakei saw that the general trend had gone, and they also fled towards the western country with the rout.

"Haha, happy, Lord Asai, you and I will immediately lead the army to join the battlefield, and the Takayama family will win this battle!"

"Wait, I wonder if Usugi-sama ever wanted to make an immortal feat?"

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, Uesugi Keikatsu obviously already knew what the other party was referring to. "Asai-sama means to attack the Toyotomi family's main camp?"

"That's right, once you can defeat the enemy's own formation, this is definitely the first merit, even if you and I share the merit, there will definitely be a lot of gains."

"Okay, I'll go with Lord Asai!" Uesugi Keikatsu made this decision without any hesitation.

It's just that they regret that when the two of them led the army to the top of the mountain, Toyotomi Hideyoshi saw that there was no way to recover the situation, so he accepted Araki Murashige's suggestion and led the only remaining 2,000 troops in the formation to retreat first, and Azuchi Castle was no longer safe, he retreated all the way to the west, and returned directly to the old nest Himeji Castle.

And with the news that the main formation has been defeated, although there are still nearly 60,000 troops in the central battlefield, they have no intention of fighting at this moment, and after the two armies of Asai Uesugi returned to the army, these 60,000 people were attacked by more than 40,000 enemies, and finally could not escape the fate of collapse.

And the eight thousand Toyotomi elites who fought against the Shibata army were not much better than them, and because they were closer to the main battle, they withdrew faster than the Toyotomi army in the central battlefield. It's just that Shibata Katsuya couldn't let them leave so easily, and they kept chasing this rout army all the way to the outside of Azuchi Castle along the south bank of Biwa Lake, and then stopped.

It's not that he doesn't want to chase after him, but when he saw Antu Castle, he felt that chasing and killing the defeated army was not as great as the credit for seizing Azuchi Castle for the lord, so he temporarily changed his mind.

If it is placed in peacetime, Azuchi Castle is by no means capable of being captured by 10,000 troops at will, but now because the Matsunaga army has been completely defeated, there is no time to return to the city, so there are only 300 defenders in the city, such a huge city, 300 defenders are not even satisfied with the city wall, how can they block the attack of 10,000 troops.

So before Shibata Katsuya ordered the siege of the city, the garrison samurai in the city had already opened the city gate and chose to surrender.
